Well, I did waste half an hour after my first meeting around Canary Wharf, due to this inaccuracy. I know better now .

BTW, I also tried to walk from Marble Arch to Lancaster Gate, believing that the distance was the same as between Bond Street and Marble Arch, but that was a long long time ago ...
